We've restarted the expansion activities at the two Centers with a lot of joy and enthusiasm, but also with some new challenges.
To help us with all of this, this year our Social Worker Jéssica has the help of Elígio, an trainee from the Social Service course. |
|
| In Center I, at the Alexandre Perussi Municipal School, many of last year's students managed to enroll at Dorcas itself (Rodovia dos Minérios), leaving many open spots in the expansion. So, we once again spread the word to the school’s students. We have continued our partnership with the Adventist Church, being able to hold our classes there, where construction of the new temple continues. The space has some limitations, but we are adapting. |
|
| In Center II, at the Youth Center in Almirante Tamandaré, we also had many students from last year who did not return, for a variety of reasons – family moves, changes in school shifts that made it impossible to attend classes, etc. Therefore, we decided once again to advertise in three schools that are close to the Youth Center, in order to make a very concrete invitation to the students. |
|
| We're about to start working again and, little by little, new registrations are coming in. The team of teachers at the Choral Singing, Flute and Guitar Workshops are very happy to see how students arrive eager to learn music every new day! |

This year the number of children has increased!
As a result, the choirs in the Music in the Neighborhood Project have grown in size. We started the year getting to know the new children to build our new repertoire! |
|
| Many new teenagers arrived to join the Pipa Amarela (Yellow Kite) choir this year, with a total of 51 members. And the three children's choirs, each one with approximately 50 children, have been a huge challenge for the music educators. |
